Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles

Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles are tools used by developers to securely manage and distribute apps on platforms like iOS. Certificates verify the developer's identity, ensuring they are authorized to create apps. Identifiers are unique names or codes that distinguish each app, preventing confusion. Profiles combine these elements, specifying which certificates can sign the app and which devices it can run on, enabling secure distribution and installation. Together, they ensure that apps are trustworthy, properly authorized, and released to the correct devices, maintaining security and control throughout the app development and distribution process.
